Oven S'mores

I was skeptical at first but can now tell you from making a batch of these yesterday that they are PERFECT for an open house. I AM somewhat of a purist when it comes to my S'mores with all my Girl Scout and Youth Group camping experience. Yes, they are infinitely better around a real camp fire. But these are just as tasty and can be prepared a whole day in advance.

Preheat over to 400 degrees.

line cookie sheet with aluminum foild. Place about six or eight graham crackers on the foil. Top each one with a regular size marshmallow. Heat in the oven for 5 minutes or until the marshmallow is lightly brown on top.

Add a half of a bar of chocolate and top with the second graham cracker. Mash lightly to set it all together.. If you're short on chocolate a quarter of a bar will work. Put back into the oven to heat the chocolate a bit. Watch carefully because you don't want a melted mess on your hands. Just a little softening of the chocolate is best.

For some reason I can't explain it takes a really long time for the chocolate to set up once you take it out of the oven. This is one time it actually is better a few hours later than eating it immediately. Plan ahead. If you make them a day ahead you can even cut them into fourths for bite-sized pieces.

About Me

When someone asks me what I "do" for a living I used to say I am retired. But lately I've started saying that I'm a typist for the Holy Spirit. Casper Supreme, as I like to call the Holy Ghost, keeps me busy and I have three different blogs. My main blog is for writing practice. I used to post on a weekly basis but now I've freed Casper up and we just post whenever we get together. If you are my friend on facebook you'll get a note to go to Jane's Journey.
I have a food blog with recipes and the stories that go with them. Our family likes to eat so we do a lot of cooking. That blog is called My Life in Food.
I have a third blog for all those unique and interesting things life brings. It's not really stories as much as experiments or discoveries. That one is called Really Cool Stuff. Lately, it's been mostly my work with labyrinths.
